I read somewhere several months ago about the archetype of "Spiritual Warrior" and I instantly KNEW in my soul that I have one of those! And almost as soon as I recognized this truth, I found these two seemingly unrelated images.
And then... if that weren't enough, I read this quotation from Pema Chodron:
The Spiritual Warrior sits in the middle of the fire. --- Pema Chodron
Well, there are truly no coincidences! This card was simply meant to be!
I am the one who stands guard at the Tree of your Life. I am the one who throws poisoned daggers at anyone or anything who gets in the way of the beautiful Light pouring down from Spirit.
I am the one who protects you and yours with a circle of flames which has special power to burn in water. The waters are your life story. My flames form a circle of protection for you. You are safe at all times.
I am always on guard, always on the lookout, and I am ruthless towards anything which stands between you and Spirits' Light.







Hi Anne Marie. I love this card. Thank you for sharing it. I have been doing SoulCollage(tm) for a few years, but am new to the community. It is so nice to be able to share with others. Mary

Oh, what a great card & quote! I haven't thought much about my spiritual warrior recently, but ~ 10 or 15 years ago dear Dannon Perry (Earthstewards Network, ES Book of Days, etc - died in '96) had a workshop of that name, & I recall how 'right' the term & concept felt.
Thanks for sharing this delightful expression :)
